Nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds are one of the most common wrinkles on the face, which can deepen significantly with age and change its appearance. They run from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth, affecting the appearance of the entire face. Fortunately, it is possible to reduce the skin aging processes that affect the visibility of these wrinkles.

Nasolabial folds – what causes them and how to get rid of them?

Nasolabial folds are creases that are initially noticeable mainly when facial expressions are made, e.g., when smiling, but with age they begin to become permanent and remain visible even when the face is at rest.

Nasolabial folds – symptoms

They are also undoubtedly the result of the natural aging process, which manifests itself as follows:

pronounced vertical indentations on both sides of the face,
reduced firmness and elasticity of the skin in this area,
the "sad face" effect – drooping cheeks and corners of the mouth,
a clear "cut-off" between the upper and lower parts of the face by a line of furrows.

Causes of nasolabial folds

As mentioned, these wrinkles are caused by the natural aging process of the skin and the associated decline in collagen and elastin, which leads to a loss of volume and tension in the middle part of the face. But that's not all. Other contributing factors include:

Weight loss – rapid weight loss causes tissue sagging.
Excessive exposure to the sun accelerates photoaging processes.
Decreased skin firmness – associated with insufficient collagen production,
Facial expressions – frequent smiling and lip movements,
Smoking cigarettes accelerates aging and reduces skin elasticity.
Genetics and age – some people are more prone to deepening furrows.

As a result, facial tissues begin to "sag," and nasolabial folds become deeper and more visible.

Nasolabial folds – how to prevent them?

Modern aesthetic medicine offers many effective methods that can fill and smooth even deep nasolabial folds. Treatments are individually selected by an aesthetic medicine doctor, depending on the condition of the patient's skin.

Fillers (hyaluronic acid) – this is the most popular method of filling nasolabial folds with hyaluronic acid. The product restores volume in the cheek area and eliminates the depth of the fold. The effect of the treatment is immediate and lasts for several months.
Tissue stimulators – preparations containing calcium hydroxyapatite, such as Radiesse, or lactic acid, such as Sculptra, stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen, improving its density. Tissue stimulators are as popular in aesthetic medicine as hyaluronic acid injections. They work more subtly than fillers, but have a longer-lasting effect.
Skinboosters are hyaluronic acid-based preparations that restore proper hydration and improve skin firmness. They are effective in prevention and for minor wrinkles.
Needle and microneedle mesotherapy is one of the effective methods for reducing nasolabial folds, helping to deeply moisturize the skin, improving its quality and supporting its regeneration, which helps to reduce wrinkles and delay their deepening.
Laser therapy – evens out the skin surface, improves tone, and smooths wrinkles. Works great in combination with other methods.
HIFU (ultrasound lifting) – stimulates the deep layers of the skin, lifting the cheeks and improving the contour of the face, making wrinkles less visible.
Stem cells – stimulate intensive skin regeneration and have a rejuvenating effect. Although this is a more advanced method, it can produce very good results on deeply etched wrinkles.

The procedures are performed under local anesthesia (e.g., with anesthetic ointment) and do not require a long recovery period.

Home remedies for nasolabial folds

Although they cannot replace professional treatments, home remedies support daily care and can delay the deepening of nasolabial folds.

Proven home remedies:

Facial massage and lifting exercises – improve circulation and facial muscle tone.
Anti-wrinkle oils – such as argan oil or prickly pear oil – improve skin elasticity.
Creams and serums containing hyaluronic acid, collagen, and vitamin C – moisturize and improve skin condition.
Gua sha plates or jade rollers – support lymphatic drainage and lift the oval of the face.
A healthy diet and hydration – support skin condition and delay the skin aging process.
